Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are more dependent on KL Rahul in the Indian batting department. Let us tell you that, with 431 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 141.31, the LSG captain is the highest run-scorer of his franchise in IPL 2024.
LSG will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an important match on Wednesday, May 8 in Hyderabad. With both the teams having 12 points from 11 matches, whichever team wins this match will move to third place in the points table and will also increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked some of the top performers for Wednesday’s match. They said that, “The first is like a broken record. You can write KL Rahul’s name there because everything depends on him. Please score runs because no other Indian player has scored many runs and does not even look like he is scoring runs. Therefore, KL Rahul will be expected to score runs.”
The former Indian cricketer further said, “If there is any weakness in the opposition’s bowling, which has been seen throughout the season except the last two matches where Bhuvneshwar Kumar has performed sensationally, then exploit it. That’s why KL Rahul is number 1.”
Chopra further said, “The second player I am thinking about is Nicholas Pooran. He has been a bit cold in the last two or three games and you want his bat to keep firing. If this team has to score or chase a big score then he has a big role to play. So I am going with him as my second player to keep an eye on.”
